Creating Vintage Sounds in Ableton

[vanvalldrey]

cool thing with the "repitch" option on the simple delay! thanks a lot!

[TravJacobs]

Hey, could you tell me what you used to make the unaltered recording? Some analogue synth?

[ryandmca]

@TravJacobs Sure thing. It's actually just a piano loop I recorded using NI Alicia's Keys. Then I ran the loop through Metasynth. Metasynth has a bunch of extremely high quality effects that you can draw in really crazy modulations for. I can't remember exactly what I did but it sounds like I used some near audio rate random amplitude modulation (kinda like FM but modulating Amplitude instead of Freq, like a fast tremolo). The random volume jumps degrade the audio for that effect.

awesome video man



[wesiso]

Excellent video! I've been wondering how to get a virtual style delay similar to my memory man w/hazarai. this just helped me in so many ways. love your workflow and how you chain things together, very cool indeed. thanks again!

[liljimi321]

can u do any thing like this on audacity? i want make like a modern song sound like it was recorded in the 40's

[ryandmca]

@liljimi321 if audacity supports plugins you could throw in your eq to take out the highs and lows, you could set it to mono, but automating the delay could be tricky...

[W4RW017]

Holy shit when you threw in that beat in the end. Goosebumps!

[timacann]

You can get the same "wobbly record deck" effect from a chorus.

[TheObscureMind]

Cool tutorial, that's an awesome loop btw .

[intubatto]

Very nice,very usefull!

Thanks

[MrRidisc]

simple but great i think!!! thank you

[laksemand]

Thanks for the video! I would love to make a remix of that piano loop :)

[djcondra]

[Belimamusic]

[skethum]

this is a very great tutorial, thanks :)

[doofbunny]

nice one man......cheers....

[surfrusurf]

This is amazing.  Thank you.

[cullyvan]

NICE Video Ryan, the pitchshift/delay functino i didnt know about. Theres a nice free vst on the go called "flutter" which is fairly similar. Anyway cheers, and "happy recycling".

[xinjinbei]

I must say that this sounds awesome.

[ElectricFarmerCh]

This is excellent, thank you!

[bathinthefountain]

that piano loop is from "Boards of Canada"... are you sure you made that yourself? :o

[ryandmca]

@bathinthefountain show me which song it's from. i appreciate you checking out my vid but please do not accuse me of plagiarism if you have nothing to back it up.

[jasonm911]

@ryandmca it does sound like boards of canada, but i have never heard this in any boards of canada song, yet it is pretty much the most amazing loop i might've ever heard...thinking of plagiarizing myself haha jk

[BourgeoisMachinery]

@ryandmca This is killing me, I'm sure I've heard this before. I just finished listening to the entire BOC discography and well... fuck, it's not there. Bravo, you have managed to steal a piani loop from BOC before it was ever written.

Great video and such a lovely piano loop, thanks.

[ryandmca]

@BourgeoisMachinery well you see the reason is i'm a legit canadian, and i'm often quite bored. so naturally it would make sense that i would be the BOCest of the BOCs.

[xinjinbei]

@BourgeoisMachinery

It's probably because this one has similar chord progression to the one in Everything you do is a balloon.

D# F# C# D#

Here it alternates between sus2 and Major chords, while Everything you do uses only sus2.

[joshspoon]

@BourgeoisMachinery I love your response. @ryandmca, nice piano

[bathinthefountain]

@ryandmca It's 'Dayvan Cowboy' with a slight variation on the chord in the 3rd measure.

[robitor]

@bathinthefountain bullshit no its not

[citro7000]

I love that piano lood (:

[yyyeason]

Very excellent tutorial. Hard to find tut's like this thanks a lot

[closey1200]

This is a wicked. Much like a Holden/Nathan Fake sound.
